BabyBudget

BabyBudget started with a simple observation: most couples don't argue about money because they're bad with it — they argue because they're each looking at a different picture. One sees the rent, the other sees the nursery, and nobody can see the whole month at once.

The Couple's Baby Money Blueprint is my answer to that. It's one planner with 25 connected tabs, built for the specific stretch of life when a baby is on the way: what the baby will actually cost, what happens to your income during leave, how much you need saved before then, and how to keep both partners' spending honest without anyone keeping score. You fill in the Setup tab once and every dashboard, countdown and schedule updates from it.

I'm a solo founder based in Sydney. I built the Blueprint over many months of iterations and testing, and I still run every edition — Excel and Google Sheets, in AUD, EUR and GBP — through the same checks before anything ships. Every tab has a video walkthrough, and the six companion guides cover the conversations that matter before the baby arrives.
